Exploring Gender Identity

Applications of a Love Based Economy

by Sequoia Elisabeth on May 10, 2011

The rubber hits the road when you apply the principles of a Love Based Economy (LBE). The principles have been presented over the past many months and are woven thru the blogs from the very beginning. For specifics please read the Ebooks available HERE. They are not written specifically for a LBE, however they are the foundation from which the LBE came to be.

It has been expressed that a LBE and the resource based economy I have been supporting in my blogs over the past few months is idealistic and not possible in today’s society. I agree that we have a ways to go, however I will also say that we have been on this path for many decades, if not centuries. The time has come to make the jump.

Several key elements are required on the personal level to make this shift. One is to believe it is possible and visualize, talk, and write about your ideas for a Love Based Economy/Society. (Consider what Walt Disney created with this technique!) Two is to take personal responsibility for it by living it. This is not as hard as it may seem. Start small and work up.

Habits take 30 days to develop so be consistent in your efforts. Anything you do consistently over and over becomes automatic, however at first results will not be observable and in fact the opposite may appear. Do not get discouraged! If it is worth doing then it is worth staying with it. Allow yourself a few failures before you change tactics and stay with the dream, always and all ways.

The more you live your dream the closer it will be to reality. Understand also that the dream goes through many changes or transitions each leading closer to the goal. This is evolution in action! Take time to reflect on what is working in your life and focus on these things. A fix it approach only creates more issues to fix, so I don’t recommend this approach. What you focus on grows, so stay focused on your dreams and desires!

Make a list of things you can do today to be more loving in your daily life. Question your motives for doing everything you do. In fact, question all of reality. Is death and destruction really as prevalent as the media would have you believe? Look around your person and ask yourself how much violence you have in your personal life. What have you seen with your own eyes? A quote from Ken Keyes sums this up, “A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror”.

I will be busy living the dream of a Love Based Economy so my blogs will be fewer and further between, but please stay in touch and keep reading! Whenever you encounter a crossroads (or any decision) in your life, ask yourself one question. “What would Love do now”?
